Dissent

This category documents and analyzes movements, ideas, and people that challenge power, from street protests and boycotts to everyday strategies of refusal. This category also includes our Profiles of Dissent series. We cover social movements, protest, organising, collective action, and cultural movements, and spotlight counternarratives and resistance in cinema, literature, and other art forms.
